Proud of my daughter @emteehall Maggie Tokuda-Hall for standing up against racism by virtue of refusing to be censored by Scholastic for her powerful book "Love in the Library". Here's a link to an interview with her today about this: https://t.co/6ZXK8Qo5tI

"Several new groups of writers, editors and agents are trying to increase Latino representation in children's literature. They're working in different ways, and have their own stories to tell." https://t.co/n029RyyxWj (via @nprbooks)

[We Need Diverse Books @diversebooks]

Imagine the world of a difference it would make to a Latinx child to grow up reading books about Latinx folk, written by Latinx folks.

Latinx children deserve to have books like these in their schools. #HHM https://t.co/w5WSRNnxSN

Want to make a difference? Talk to your kids about the racist incidents of the past week. Let them see Central Park & George Floyd (you know what ages can handle what). The conversation w/ my own kids was hard but vital. Social change happens when we all speak against injustice.

Great article on #AsianAmerican #books by @smegallywrites on @BookRiot blog:https://t.co/bN31PlnN0K for the record the first kidlit authors whose books I read only in my twenties but whom I felt encouraged me unseen were @LindaSuePark and #LawrenceYep

My tsundoku is growing and growing with new releases to support fellow authors. Guilt? Maybe a bit, but it's tempered with thinking of each purchase as a virtual hug to my brothers and sisters in the publishing world. xo

This is only the 3rd most impressive thing @DollyParton has ever done. The 1st is: wrote “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene” in the SAME DAY. 2nd is: served as an executive producer on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. 4th could be: become my BFF . After she cures COVID of course.🤞🏼

As a diabetic, I've learned to phone my pharmacy first to make sure my meds arrive before leaving self-isolation to go into the store. I've also learned to order 7-10 days in advance, just in case they're short-shipped.
